Green & Co.'S reeprt on cotton futures says:
"A pretty full business in cotton contracts for
Saturday is the result of a free unloading mar
ket showing a decidedly weak tone and going
off l0Q12 points closing tameiy at about the
lowest This is due &c disappointment over the
tenor of Liverpool accounts, which came IN
tamely, and also TO more favorable construc-
ton OF crop prospects as suggested on the
weekly revision Of the outlook. Holiday on
Monday also carried some influence and led
longs TO sell out rather than risk carrying over
in the absence of stimulating features"

CHICAGO Sept. 3-The wheat market was dull
throughout the day. Increasing receipts in the
Northwest, dull and weaker cables and lower
prices for California wheat had tendency to
create an easier feeling, and with pretty fair
selling on Eastern account. and much outside
support, prices gradually settled down. Advices
from the Southwest report heavy rains, and
indicate that considerable portion of the
wheat will be too poor for milling. 1t is esti.
mated that the visible supply statement will
show a decrease of only $4,000 or 10000 bushels
next week October opened NC lower at 7076c,
sold up to tic, down to 70Ac, rallied slightly,
but closed at 703SG17034c. Corn was also quiet
and fluctuations were only moderate, and
within $sG11ac range. The expected large re-
ceipts the first of the week was the principal
feature, and this had tendency to increase
offerings, several prominent houses selling
quite freely. which under an absence of outside
orders to sustain the market, caused prices to
decline NO 16c. October opened at 4116@415Sc,
sold down to 41R014l14c, and closed at 4154c
May ranged between 441Sc, the opening figure
and 443e(d 447Sc, the closing figure. Oats ex-
perienced a shaking out to-day to greater de-
gree than any other grain, considering the
stability of the market of late. Early in the day
there was an unusual stir among traders. and
prices moved down with wheat and corn. Octo
Der sold at 25c to open and at 24}Sc to the close
and May sold from 3014c down to 297sc, and
closed at 30c. Provisions exhibited moderate
activity but the feeling was weak and prices
ruled lower on all the leading descriptions.
There was rather more pressure to sell both by
local and outside parties, while the demand
was light and mainly from Shorts" The de
mand on shipping account was only fair, and
the offerings were moderate. Sales were fair at
about former prices. Receipts of products
were moderate, and deliveries quite large,
especially of meats. October lard opened at
So 1905 4715, declined to So 40. advanced to
Sc 4211, reacted to So 37J5, and closed steady at
Sc 4061G 42l6. Short ribs ranged IS 32136S 10;
closed steady at So 32lb. Mess pork, year was
quiet and qIotably at S11 75011 so.
